I am practically a millionaire now... But being born into poverty affected my development. And no matter how much I have, the trauma is still there.

Please do remember me in your prayers am in excruciating pain nothing matters again

Blake755:

I hope so too sad I no longer give a F**k about a creator lost my faith tho

AndroidAI:


A lot of us are suffering as a result of other people's mistake. I, for example, was born into poverty. It wasn't my fault either. Nothing is fair!

To be honest, this right here is your problem. There are very many ways to skin a cat. But being lazy or non-chalant isn't one of them. You think Computing is easy? You will be shocked at how difficult somethings in Computing can get. I had (still have) a very good head for computing. But there's a course in CS called DBMS. And I hated it. PASSIONATELY. Hated database normalization, hated BCNF with special passion. I hated Human-Computer Interaction. But I had to muscle through all of that nonsense to get a degree. I dropped out of Uni in my final year and after two years went back to another Uni to start from year 1. Not like my previous grades were not transferable, but the Uni I got admission into had no provision to transfer students from other universities at the time. (They do now many years after). But I went through all of that very unpleasant experience to get a degree. Today, what I do in IT was never taught in school. But the stuff I had learned in school made it easier for me to understand the materials needed for my current profession. You have to get a thick skin and get past all the discomfort. In the jungle, the strong stand and rumble, the weak fold and crumble. And right now, you come across as weak.

Let me put it in perspective for you, I finished secondary school two days before my 17th birthday. My lowest grade was C5 in Geography and Chemistry. Made 5 A3 (as we called them then) including English, Mathematics and Further Mathematics. I eventually got a university degree 4 days before my 30th birthday. And I even had a carry-over in Software Engineering in my final semester. So I don't know what challenge you think you are facing that I haven't faced. All in this same so-called "STUPID COUNTRY" according to you. I was in class with people 10 years my junior. Some of my TAs in university were my age mates. Some classmates sef called me "Mr Airsaylongcom". Today all of that is history. Put your head down and decide on a lane and follow it to the end

Completely agree with you. Even if the project is some so-called "stupid", "easy" project. BUILD SOMETHING. AND DOCUMENT BOTH THE PROCESS AND YOUR LEARNINGS.

THE POWER OF POSITIVE DECLARATIONS
To declare positive things about your life is one of the biggest lessons I have learned so far. Say out loud what you want to see in your life, write it down and then work towards it.

how I practiced positive declarations back in school.

Well, here is the story.

Throughout my undergrad days, I would always write the grades I wanted in certain courses at the back of my notebook every semester and I say them out loud. Believe me when I say I made those grades, even when conditions threatened them.

I remember when a lecturer threatened that “no student will get an A in his course”. I was scared like the rest of the class but continued to say my declarations, do my best, and believe that my outcome will be different. Alas! I was the only one who made an A in that course. Since then, I never underestimated the power of positive declarations (and God’s grace of course).

Other things that I positively declared are:
1. I will get a Master’s and PhD degree abroad even when I had no idea how It will be funded. I said this right from my first year as an undergrad.
2. I will be a landlord before I get married. My late mom still reminded of this when I shared the news.
3. I will get a job on or before the completion of my PhD. Well, it happened so unexpectedly.

It is important to note that a lot of proactive hardwork and discipline occurred behind the scenes for these things to manifest (it will not happen automatically just because you declared them). I, however, believe that the strength to focus and do the hard work came from the mindset birthed out of those positive declarations.

Also, when you work on your mind to remain positive via your declarations, you will attract positive things to yourself and unleash potentials you never thought you had.

Certainly, some things will not go as planned, but in the end you will see that they all work out as you have hoped, or even better.

You're jumping too fast, you don't even know the basics of JS before jumping into Redux. JavaScript is not just syntax, but a lot of other API like DOM, and stuff.

Use a good book.

Not all Front-end jobs are about consuming API, you will be told to create UI Custom Components or debug some frameworks, these are things not taught on freecodecamp and the like.

There's a lot to know, Browser Paint Cycle, Prototype Inheritance,etc

Use a book o, I've worked with various companies and the only saving grace for me has been the Core JS foundation, every framework magic still resolves around JS, even React.

JSX is not supposed to be possible, but something parses it and constructs it into DOM via JavaScript.

JavaScript is massive, other than the syntax, there are a ton of APIs like WebGL, Audio, Video, Canvas, WebWorkers, Storage, Network, and HID the list is long and gets longer.

I work with Svelte for a Gas company in the US, and the code here is insane, we've built a lot of custom UI components draggable widgets, Canvas that renders Shape from an exported C++ Desktop app for Gas Diagrams.

Don't learn Redux, focus on JS first.

I usually don't tell people to read JS first because I know people want quick cash, but if you want to be a seasoned dev, learn JS well. There are 24 Chapters in this book.

Nothing stops you from reading a chapter a day or for 2 days.

I am writing a Shopify Theme and it's pure JavaScript with customElements, that is another API sef I didn't mention, you see how crazy JS is, it keeps expanding.

MethPedo:

Both

Melbrom:

LMAO you a funny man. I'm interested in getting into embedded systems but ain't seeing people to put me through and give me motivation. Everybody is into web, data science and others as you said. You live in the UK?

MethPedo:

Here's filled with web devs noobs, cs f*gs, wannabe hackers ,data gays and failed Yahoo c*nts nowadays

Back in the days , you'll see ee, ce , embedded guys posting meaningful stuffs

Most of them now work for b
I'm into embedded systems and game programming

Looking to get a Arduino very soon

Just got laid off from a retarded company in the UK because I toasted the HR lady

Embedded is scarce yeah, but Interswitch employs embedded devs for their POS but it's with C and Lua. The last Embedded I did was Vibrobox Arduino for school project. You should join the Intwrswitch slack community and reach out.

Good afternoon boss, happy weekend. I have little issues with my VSCode and it is that it refuses to install extentions and I don't know why. I tried installing pylance and some other extensions but it kept showing installing for more than 45mins. Please what do I do?

SUPREMOTM:


It is very popular in Nigeria too. Many large organizations in Nigeria (banks, oil companies, Telcos etc) use the .Net ecosystem for their applications: the .Net framework is designed for creating Enterprise applications.

It is not for the faint-hearted though, because .Net is designed as a full-stack developer framework (same code base for web, mobile (android and iOS), desktop (windows, Mac) , RESTful HTTP services with templates for front end frameworks like Angular, React etc plus very easy integration of cloud technologies); you can't afford to stop learning.

Your job may require you to create/manage the backend for huge applications in addition to creating/managing the front end and the web services that provides the data for your front-end to consume.

.Net gives you all the tools you need to make your application as huge as you can imagine and C# is the language of choice.

Recently, a UNILAG 200 level student told me they have to learn C# in their department though he is not a computer science student.

NOUN Post graduate degree in Computer Science also requires you to learn C# only (Confirm on their website).

There are many .Net developer jobs at these big organisations and it takes quite some time to get the vacancies filled because the skill sets are not as abundant as Java in Nigeria at the moment.
